Elon Musk sports black eye at farewell presser in Oval Office: 'Horsing around with little X'

It was the black one under his right eye. 

Social media lit up during the livestreamed event as eagle-eyed viewers noticed what appeared to be a fresh bruise under Musk's eye, prompting speculation about everything from a gym mishap to a political dust-up. 

The assembled press couldn't resist asking the obvious: "What happened to your eye?"

Then came the real story.

"Yeah," Musk replied.

"X could do it, if you knew X," Trump said with a grin.

Musk didn't let the black eye distract from his message.

"This is not the end of DOGE," he told reporters. "Only the beginning."

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
